The U.S. Army is exploiting the advantages of networked computer systems to enhance battlefield situation awareness and command and control, a program known as digitization. Digital systems, as well as the procedures for using these systems, are evolving and will continue to do so for many years. The goal of the current effort is to support the evolution of digitization with measures of digital proficiency that retain their value across specific hardware and software products. The research identified high-profile problems in the performance of non-digital units likely to be addressed by the effective application of digital systems to help soldiers visualize the battlefield and increase the operating tempo (OPTEMPO) of units. Data from the U.S. Army Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) was analyzed to identify the more frequently occurring problems in the performance of non-digital units at the Army's National Training Center and Joint Readiness Training Center. These data were used to identify the mechanisms where digital systems might address each problem and found that over 92% of the approximately 200 high-profile problems could be addressed by one or more of over forty mechanisms (e.g., increased situation awareness makes it possible to use events rather than time to trigger many activities). Twenty-two skills U.S. Army personnel would need to implement these mechanisms (e.g., maintain awareness of expected versus actual locations of friendly units) were identified. This approach defined four linked targets for digital proficiency measurement: the impacts on high-profile problems in unit performance, increases in battlefield visualization/OPTEMPO, employment of digital mechanisms for addressing problems, and proficiency in skills enabling digital mechanisms.
